Ah… oats. My favorite breakfast and even better when they’re dreamy caramelized banana stovetop oats. This is one of those bowls that’s perfect for any season of the year.
If you haven’t added caramelized bananas to your oats yet, you’re missing out. I don’t even like plain bananas but caramelized bananas make me feel some kind of way. They’re soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and give you all the cozy vibes, even in the middle of summer.
And if you haven’t made stovetop oats before, don’t even get me started. I enjoy microwaved oats too, but ever since I started making stovetop oats I’ve never looked back. I like that you can see the whole cooking process, add ingredients as they sit on the stove, and prep your toppings during the 5 minutes they take. Oh and the extra creamy texture is another bonus I suppose.
This bowl features all of my favorites. Homemade almond milk made with my nut milk bag, thick Siggi’s yogurt, peanut butter, a chopped up granola cookie, hemp seeds, and of course, a caramelized banana. 5 minutes of kitchen time gives you an energizing breakfast to fuel your day right.
